Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski reports Paul Silas is the leader to replace Brown, but Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing and former Hawks coach Mike Woodson are under consideration as well

I liked Silas when he was the Hornets coach, might not be a bad hire.

I bet it will be Patrick Ewing. That sounds like more of a Jordan hire. Besides Silas was good only when he was coaching the Charlotte Hornets, he was garbage every other city he was head coach in.

I'm not wild about the thought of a guy who has never been head coach taking over this team. Ewing is a big unknown and I think we need guy who has been a coach before.

As Charlotte's discussions stand now with Paul Silas, he would take over as coach for the balance of the regular season, sources tell Y!

Is it the norm for an interim coach to come from outside the current staff? Isn't an asst. typically given interim duty?

The whole coaching staff left with LB. Don't know if they were fired as well, but honestly I think they were just his "boys" so MJ didn't want them around anymore anyway.

They're saying over at BP that Charles Oakley is a strong possibility as an asst. under Silas right now as well. Watch him become our next head coach, lol.

I'd have rather had Woodson.

[Dpantherman]

what is MJ's obsession w/ old guys??

[Sam Mills Fan]

You know, say what you will about John Fox, but at least he outlasted FOUR Charlotte NBA coaches and now we're back to the same guy that was here when Fox was hired.
